A Romantic Valentine's Day Not

Aiyah, see what married life with kids can reduce Valentine's Day to...
Our original plan was actually to eat the famous Still Road black pepper crab with my sis and Mel (without the kids) on Thursday (as shop is closed on Wednesdays). The four of us are all suckers for crab... But decided not to because we feared the price of seafood could be jacked up during the CNY period. So we just decided to meet up at Chinatown with the kids. In order to avoid the hassle of feeding the kids dinner outside, we had them take dinner at home first.

On the way to Chinatown, we got unwittingly held up in slow traffic, so we made a detour and ended up in Tiong Bahru market. So TT & I had an absolutely unromantic dinner of prawn noodle soup, char kway teow and chwee kueh! haha

After that we managed to meet my sis and family along the crowded streets of Chinatown. My guess was the crowd was not at its peak, but even then it was enough to put me off. Especially with two kids in tow. Didn't buy anything, just didn't have the mood. Since there was school the next day, we didn't stay long there anyway. So that's how we celebrated VD. I'm sure we'll make up for it with black pepper crab another day...*drooling*
